2008
This years game was FIRST Overdrive.
We got to UCF and set up the pits early thursday morning (3/13/08). We didn't make our first or third match due to inspection, but made a substitute match and our second match. We lost both of these due to penalties, since we had trouble getting the trackball over the hurdle. By doing the practice matches we figure out what we needed to do differently, and hoped to do that on friday.
On friday we had six matches:

2568 - 180 - 69 vs.

The score was 50 to 18.

After this we were excited over our wins. The top 8 teams went onto the field to create their teams. 2 of the teams in the top 8 went onto another team's team, so 9 and 10 moved down into the teams selecting teammates. Team 1345 picked team 744 to join their alliance. Then it was their turn to ask another team to join. They said Team 1557! We graciously accepted and joined their alliance. We then broke for lunch and had a picnic like the 2 previous days. We went back to the areana and prepared for our matches. We would be up against the first seeded team, which consisted of 103, 108, and 395. The best 2 out of 3 would continue on to the semifinals.
Our first quarterfinal match was at 1:06pm.
108 - 103 - 395 vs.
1345 - 744 - 1557 ---
The score was 100 to 72.
Our second quarterfinal match was at 1:33pm.
108 - 103 - 395 vs.
1345 - 744 - 1557 ---
The score was 70 to 46.
We were out and the red team advanced to the semifinals, but we had a great time! We had great alliance partners, and we all played our best! Great job to all of the teams at the competition, and great job to our whole team for making a great robot this year!
